Chapter 2509 Tracking
Watts.
Abandoned factory.
Several young people dressed in black robes poured their mental strength into the magic array.
As the array began to operate, a small teleportation gate opened.
Ruan Ziying stood nearby, focusing intently on the center of the magic array. She watched as the teleportation passage completed its construction and Fang Heng stepped through.
She recalled the last time she had seen Fang Heng; he had been a novice just entering the high-tier world. In a mere six months, he had risen to a height that even she had to look up to. He had stirred the ongoing battle between the Holy Court and the undead, and was even considered a source of a certain demonic seed.
"Fang Heng."
Ruan Ziying nodded gently at him.
It had been more than half a year since they last met, but Fang Heng appeared unchanged.
"Hmm." Fang Heng smiled as he waved to Ruan Ziying. "Thanks for your trouble. I'll take it from here to avoid causing you any issues."
The mission involved the pollution from demonic seeds, and it was best for uninvolved parties to stay away.
"Alright, just be careful."
Ruan Ziying didn't say much more. With a wave of her hand, she led her companions to retreat.
Fang Heng looked up at the sky and quickly transformed into bat form, flying outward.
Before entering Watts, he had already spoken with Yu Jiayuan. Since the recent demonic seed incident, Luo Xu and Baldy Sun Zhaoyu had taken a group of followers and found a new city to lay low in.
After much consideration, Yu Jiayuan decided to follow Luo Xu and maintain contact with Fang Heng offline.
Additionally, the ritual magic array for the demonic seed "Gluttony" had been ready for two months since the last mission. Luo Xu's team had been secretly gathering strength, waiting for Fang Heng's return.
No one expected Fang Heng to arrive so suddenly. They had just received word in the afternoon and he appeared at the headquarters that very evening.
...
"Lord of the demonic seed."
As soon as the followers gathered upon hearing the news of Fang Heng's return, they bowed respectfully.
Fang Heng was no longer the novice he had been when he first encountered the demonic seeds. Reflecting on his journey with Luo Xu, he suddenly realized he had never asked this important question: "By the way, who are you all followers of?"
"We have a total of 83 subordinates. Currently, most belong to 'Pride,' 'Wrath,' and 'Gluttony.' There are very few followers of 'Lust' and 'Sloth,' and the rest are followers of 'Jealousy' from the Revolution Society. We don't dare to recruit them."
Fang Heng frowned slightly. "What about 'Greed'?"
"Well, it's strange, but we've never encountered any followers of 'Greed.'"
Never seen followers of 'Greed'...
Fang Heng rubbed his chin, feeling uneasy.
Moreover, these individuals belonged to different demonic seeds; if they found their respective masters, would they still follow his orders?
He decided to take it one step at a time.
Luo Xu followed closely behind Fang Heng and detailed everything that had happened since Fang Heng's departure.
Essentially, the once peaceful Watts had descended into chaos with Fang Heng's arrival and returned to calm with his departure.
"Since the last incident, the conservatives have approached us several times, hoping to meet you. I made excuses to turn them down."
The conservatives...
Fang Heng's memory stirred. He recalled his earlier encounter with the conservatives during his search for the Gluttony seed, where they had cooperated to take down Hell Faram.
What did they want from him now? Cooperation?
"Let's not worry about them for now," Fang Heng said, raising his head. "Let's begin the ritual and locate the Gluttony seed."
"Understood!"
Excitement flashed in Luo Xu's eyes as he gestured, "You all heard him! Prepare for the ritual!"
The demonic seed followers had been prepared, quickly forming a circle in the underground square and reciting the hellish prayers in a rhythmic, soft tone.
Fang Heng stepped forward, standing in front of the magic array, raising the scroll high in his hand.
Whoosh!
The scroll ignited the moment it was raised, rapidly burning away into a pile of ash.
[Hint: The player has consumed the tracking scroll for Gluttony seed*1.]
[Hint: The player has established a mental positioning for the sealed Gluttony seed.]
[Hint: The player has triggered a faction quest-Gluttony seed.]
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Description: You have located the precise position of the Gluttony seed. Please find a way to rescue the trapped Gluttony seed.
Mission reward: Faction favorability rating, equipment reward.
Fang Heng quickly scanned the newly triggered mission description and perceived the location of the Gluttony seed within the sea of consciousness. He raised his head and said, "Map."
Luo Xu immediately handed over a world map.
Fang Heng unfolded the map and pointed to a specific location, saying, "Here."
Sun Zhaoyu leaned in for a closer look, his expression growing serious. "That's right. This is the headquarters of the Revolution Society. As we suspected, the Gluttony seed has already been found and imprisoned by them."
"Hmph!"
Even though he had suspected it, Luo Xu couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Sun Zhaoyu explained to Fang Heng, "Lord of the demonic seed, the location you sensed is the headquarters of the Revolution Society. They say there's more than one demonic seed imprisoned there."
"Alright, let's go. We need to hurry."
Fang Heng said no more and turned to leave.
"Lord of the demonic seed, where are we headed?" Luo Xu asked, momentarily taken aback but quickly catching up to Fang Heng's pace.
"Of course, we're going to find the Gluttony seed."
Hearing this, Luo Xu and Sun Zhaoyu exchanged alarmed glances.
"Lord of the demonic seed, the headquarters of the Revolution Society has very strong defenses. Shouldn't we plan before we go?"
"No need for that. My time is limited, and I need to locate the Gluttony seed quickly. If even you couldn't guess that I would attack the headquarters, then surely they won't either."
"Uh..."
Luo Xu felt a lingering unease despite understanding the reasoning behind Fang Heng's decision.
"Make arrangements quickly."
"Understood."
As Fang Heng considered the situation, he realized that based on the world's tier system, his strength was sufficient to dominate the hidden advanced game world, the World of Forests. Thus, he could likely push through Watts without breaching any hidden rules.
As long as Jealousy didn't intervene, he could rely on sheer power to break through!
Time was of the essence. He wouldn't worry too much about the mission line; he needed to see if he could extract the power of the Gluttony seed for Abe Akaya's absorption.
...
The headquarters of the Revolution Society was located in the Wakatena Icefield region.
The helicopter circled a few times before descending slowly.
"Ite Country is a small nation that primarily relies on tourism and fishing for development. The Revolution Society has extremely close ties with the national leadership, which is why they established their headquarters here," Luo Xu explained.
"The area where the headquarters is located is off-limits to outsiders and has the highest level of restricted access."
